Hey there neighbor, it's Kevin at etrailer and today we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Hellwig Rear Anti-sway Bar here on our 2017 Fleetwood Bounder class A Motor Home. So our neighbor came to us today with a lot of handling issues and that's pretty typical when it comes to these large class a motor homes because they're a giant brick that's gonna just take all outta that abuse from the crosswinds and just if it's a windy day in general. And on top of that, these are kind of not really distributed well when it comes to the weight because typically one side will have a giant slide out in it, the other side won't really have a giant one. And when it comes to the interior, usually all your appliances are on one side and maybe you got a little bit of furniture on the other, so not really distributing that weight real well. So all that mixed together with high speeds, you start kind of swaying side to side and it gets really uncomfortable and honestly a little bit dangerous. So adding in a Hellwig anti-sway bar can help beef up that frame rail and it's going to help 'cause it's essentially a spring where when it starts to kind of pull one way, so say your frame rail starts to kind of pull up on it, that spring's gonna wanna pull you right back down. And honestly when I was installing it, it was a little bit of a challenge trying to get it up to the end link with both sides because the spring's starting to activate and that's exactly what we want. So I, one point I did have to use a jack to kind of push it up just enough so I could pop that bolt through. So overall, pretty easy to install. The bigger thing here is you're probably gonna want to have or probably gonna have to take off the wheels, which is the hardest part of this because taking these off requires you to re torque them back down and it's a very high torque value with a torque wrench that you're most likely not going to have unless you are a mechanic yourself. Once you get past that, you will have to also swap out your end links or not your end links, sorry, your U-bolts. And in this case I ended up or I opted to just cut them off because we are replacing them. There's gonna be some new ones in the kit that is probably gonna be your easiest option. So I'd definitely grab yourself an angle grinder before you get to this because getting the nuts off of those U-bolts is typically pretty hard to do, especially once they start getting rusty and corroded. The other part of this is we are gonna need to create some separation because the cross beam that's right behind our rear axle here, it's going to be kind of blocked. The four bolts that go into that are blocked by the leaf springs, so you're gonna need to lift up from the frame at the back and that'll create that gap to where you can get the bolts out, pop in your bracket, pop the bolts back in and then you can lower it back down. So this might be something where you just don't have the equipment to handle it. And if that is the case, definitely feel free to reach out and use our dealer locator and you can enter in your zip code and find a shop near you and get it professionally installed. If you are the mechanic and/or you're that person that has all that equipment and you wanna do this yourself, definitely feel free to stick around and I'll help walk you through the process. Alright now to start off our install, I've removed the wheels so that way we have better access to look at what's going on in here and because I'm doing another install. So at this point this is the perfect time with that previous install to start my sway bar because when you have all the weight on the suspension it's gonna compress in and that's gonna block us from getting to these bolts right here, which is exactly what we need to pop out. So there's gonna be three bolts in there, we're gonna get these two bottom ones and in the back one front one we're gonna ignore because the bracket that we have has got an angle where it's gonna just cut right past that. So if you have the wheels on and you have it sitting on the ground, unfortunately it's gonna be blocked by this leaf spring stack and it's gonna make it super hard to get in there and you can get in there with a wrench and get it loose. But at that point
